FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our process begins with a conversation to get to know you as a couple and learn about your vision for your wedding day. We discuss the type of ceremony you’d like, whether it’s traditional, non-traditional, religious, secular, an elopement, or something completely unique. From there, we help guide you through the ceremony planning process, including vows, readings, special rituals, and any personal touches you’d like to include. We stay in communication leading up to your wedding to ensure every detail is covered and answer any questions along the way. On your wedding day, we arrive prepared, professional, and focused on creating a heartfelt, memorable ceremony that reflects your love story and allows you to enjoy every moment of your special day.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
When preparing for your wedding, we encourage couples to ask questions that help ensure their officiant is the right fit for their vision. Important questions include: * Are you available on our wedding date and at our venue? * What types of ceremonies do you perform? * Can we customize our ceremony and vows? * How do you help guide us through the planning process? * Do you attend and participate in the rehearsal? * How do you handle last-minute changes or special requests? * What is your backup plan in case of an emergency? * What documents are needed to make our marriage legal? At Married by the Mannings, we are happy to answer all of these questions and more. Our goal is to make the process stress-free, enjoyable, and personalized so that your ceremony reflects your unique love story and becomes a cherished memory for years to come.
